Ok, i guess that means you could make your own custom "Actors" folder? - infact, any other structure where you'd like the same movie to be represented in more folders. But.. the structure of the "meta" file would then be something like:

Whatever the ethnicity of the wedding party--Jewish, Italian, Irish, Chinese, Hindu--the charismatic and charming duo always have clever back stories for inquisitive guests and inevitably become the hit of every reception, where they strictly adhere to their proven rules of wedding crashing to meet and pick up women aroused by the very thought of marriage. At the tail end of another successful season of toasting brides and grooms, Jeremy learns that the daughter of Treasury Secretary William Cleary and his wife, Kathleen, is getting married in what is sure to be the Washington D.C. social event of the year. After infiltrating the lavish affair, John and Jeremy quickly set their sights on two bridesmaids, Claire and Gloria Cleary.

The 'Master' category is helpful for classification at one (1) more level higher. For instance, if you have a favourite Actor in both a bunch of movies and also a couple of series, you may not want to have all movies and series items under the actors name.

I saw earlier in this post where the suggestion of using the meta file for MyMovie's could possibly be an option?

I think that would be fantastic actually because all of my movies already have that XML Document in each of my movie folders.

Sorting by year is cool, and genre and so on but my only hope is that I can sort by Actor/Actress without having to create these individual files myself. (especially when they are already there).

I had tried out Mezzmo and actually it does this fairly well. All you have to do is add the Actor folder and it gathers all of his movies (that you have) in one easy location.

I love the PSMS though so, obviously I want it to do everything under the sun.

by the way I DL'd the CCML_v3_x1.50 (jar file) and placed it in the plugins folder. Didn't work. Placed it in the Main directory and still didn't work. I don't know what I'm doing wrong here. Maybe it's because I don't have the right Meta file?

I have yet to look into parsing files for categorization other than meta files. Doesn't mean I haven't thought about it though. I'm in the process of still making other minor tweaks and what not for this plugin first. Once those are done, I'll try to find way to support different types of categorization if it is really wanted.

As for the plugin not loading; my only advice would be to check the trace logs in your PMS. The plugin file should be placed in the 'plugins' directory. You should see a trace log starting "[CCML] Loading plugin." or see an option "Custom Category Media Library" under the plugin system area under "General Configuration". If you find something wrong/broken, I'd be more than willing to investigate why.

Let's say you have 2gb drive of movies all with meta files.. would that cause CCML to take very long time to prescan all these before it can display the CCML folders?I guess if thats so.. thats... not so great
